Fireside Chat with a Nobel Laureate Prof. Bert Sakmann

Meeting one—or even several—Nobel Prize winners and having casual conversations with them about all kinds of topics: for students, that sounds like a dream—enticing, yet distant. At the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings, this dream becomes reality—and at the economics meeting, it becomes accessible for HSG students as well. Our Personality in Residence, Wolfgang Schürer, played a key role in the international repositioning of this renowned gathering. Together with Bert Sakmann , Nobel Prize winner and Lindau native, we will explore the history of the event and ask: What can international scientific dialogue achieve today?

Bert Sakmann was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1991, together with Erwin Neher, for developing the patch-clamp technique, which allows for the measurement of charged particle movements through cell membranes. He is the former Director of the Department of Cell Physiology at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg. Since 2008, he has led the Emeritus Group on Functional Anatomy of a Cortical Column at the Max Planck Institute for Neurobiology in Martinsried. He is also the head of the Sakmann Research Group at the Institute of Neuroscience at the Technical University of Munich.
